WASHINGTON, March PC. II. j..
Taylor, of Kansas City, Mo, the newly
appointed Minister to Liberia, is in the

partment, and will leave in about twenty
days for his new post of duty. He is
largely interested in the convention of in
dependent cOlOred men, which is to meet
in Washington in May or June, and, al
though he will not be present, he will aid
in arranging for il until the moment of
his departure.
The object of the convention said

"D0 YOU think the President has gained
the confidence OF the negroes ~
There can he no doubt OF it. Mr.
Cleveland is to the negro rs the second
coming of Christ. Why, when he was first
elected the ignorant negroes who had 'eXO-
busted from Mississippi placed armed
guards around their little communities TO
fight 10 the death should any attempt be
made To take them into slavery. Now
they would mob = man who wOuld say
that slavery was possible again. The stand
taken by the President on the Matthews
matter has also made him hosts OF friends.
His message recommending the reimburse
ment of theswindied Ercedman'S Bank de-
poSitors was another act which finds favor
with the colOred man
But do YOU think that the President
has gained votes for his party?'
YES, sir. Ibelieye at the next election,
if Mr. Cleveland is renOminated, or if the
nominee Of the Democratic party is man
of Mr.. Cleyeland's stamp, that One-third
of the colOred vote will he cast for him.
MoIe than this, believe that there will
be at least forty colored delegates in the
next Democratic convention. As for my
sell, am going to take the stump for the
Democratic party in the next campaign,
even if resign my position to do it. "

more rapid stroke than that used by their

stubbornly contested all the way. The

burst Ia their speed and drew up towards
their opponents, but managed Ia cut down
only part Of the lead against them.
At Chiswick the Oxiords had improved
their rowing ~ much that the Cambridge
men, in their efforts 10 retain their lead,
rowed little wildly aud finally splash.

somewhat curtailed, although their boat
rolled good deal under the inequality
Of the efforts of the crew. On nearing
Barnes bridge Cambridge recovered, and
rowing steadier stroke, paSsed that point
a length ahead. Oxford here made another
effort. but just beyond Barnes one Of her
oars unfortunately snapped and the racs
then became certainty for Cambridge,
who won easily by three lengths.
The race up TO the point where Oxford
broke an oar was an excellent one. The
